The system has changed in the past couple of years but not that significantly as far as I can tell, at least for the initial stage.  The head of household signs to say who living there is entitled to vote and returns the form in a pre-paid envelope - or does it on line as I did last week.

Here in Canada the federal electoral register is maintained by a box on your federal tax return (which for all provinces except Quebec, includes your provincial tax return as well). You tick the box that you are entitled to vote and your name goes on the electoral register. It keeps it pretty up to date for most people as even those with very low incomes or on welfare get a basic $75 tax rebate as long as they file. Changes can be done online and at the returning office during a writ period.
